Locations
As a destination known for its crazed futbol (soccer) fan clubs, fancy taxis (most of them are Mercedes, talk about a sweet ride), and bread museums (not kidding), Germany is the most ideal place for sports, history, car, and food lovers. Even though there are thousands of towns and cities within this densely populated country, the most popular places for adventure seekers are Berlin and Munich.
With more museums than rainy days, Berlin is a history aficionado's haven. Take the time to engage and educate yourself about Germany’s history within these museums or embark on city tours to explore traditional German architecture. For those who’d prefer to embrace an adrenaline rush, over 40 percent of Berlin is made up of parks, recreational areas, woods, and rivers, making it perfect for camping, biking, hiking, and canoeing. After a long day’s worth of adventuring, change into your fancy schmancy clothes to sit down and relax within one of the many opera houses in Berlin, the only city with three active ones.
Home to the infamous Oktoberfest festival, Munich houses more than 10 Euro steins and pretzels larger than your face. Take an enjoyable bike tour around the city, while stopping at the Neues Rathaus (new town hall), a neo-gothic structure decorated with gargoyles, making it one of Germany’s most distinctive structures. For all those surfers out there, who said catching waves had to happen in the ocean? Eisbach is a small man-made river, with currents and wakes large enough to catch some gnarly waves; hang loose dude!
Adventure Travel in Germany
Germany is the perfect blend of historical and adventure based activities. From getting a feel of royalty and history by exploring some of Germany’s many gothic castles to letting your wild side show by cross-country skiing and sledding through the Bavarian Forest, you’ll have the time of your life and #noregrets#noregrets when it’s all said and done.
Don’t be one of those people who become bored with their summer after the third week in. Going camping around Germany will never leave you with a boring moment to spare. From canoeing, kayaking, and swimming to archery, climbing, and conquering the high ropes, you’ll have the chance to be active while creating lifelong friendships during your adventure in Germany. Depending on the program you choose, there might also be room in the jampacked itinerary for games, sports, and team building.
Ever thought about getting certified in coaching and first-aid (with the excuse to stress-eat strudel on the reg?). These adventure-training types of programs usually last from five to eight weeks, are paid, and come with multiple volunteer activities. What’s better than spending your summer having fun adventuring and earning some cash in the process?
If you’re seeking a pot of adventure travel with a hint of architecture, history, and sightseeing, then taking a tour of Germany will be your best bet. Not only will you be setting foot all around the country with such an impactful historic past, but you’ll also have the chance to expand your knowledge by integrating real-world insights and travel observations. Adventure tours in Germany usually last for two to four weeks with add-on options for more tours, excursions, and all-around travel fun.
Costs & Affordability
Germany is by no means an expensive place to live, but it is also not as cheap as other areas in Europe. The estimated cost of living in Germany is about 800 Euros a month; however, the bulk of that cost includes a place to live, which will be most likely already covered by your adventure program provider. Many cities, such as Berlin, are also tax-free, which definitely is an incentive to go on that extra backpacking or hiking trip.
Adventure programs in Germany will usually include a place to live, daily meals, medical services and insurance, and optional excursions. Since Germany isn’t crazy expensive, saving up some extra finances the summer or semester before you go abroad should be enough to cover extra costs on the trip.
Accommodation & Visas
After a long day of adventure in Germany, the only thing left on your adventure bucket list should be busting out the Netflix while relaxing in a warm comfy bed. Homestays, apartments, and dorm-style living are all the different options offered within your program, but it all depends on the type of program you choose.
In Germany, you’ll not be required to maintain a visa if your stay is under 90 days. Most adventure programs in Germany are offered for up to eight weeks, but if your program does last over that 90 day period, you should refer to GoAbroad's German Embassy Directory for more information on how to acquire a visa.
Benefits & Challenges
Amidst the gorgeous green mountains and sparkling blue rivers that Germany is made up of, there are also challenges and barriers with the language and, somewhat, the extreme weather for foreign travelers.
In the touristy areas of Germany, most locals do know a bit of English, but it is highly unlikely you’ll find yourself embarking on a backpacking adventure in the busy and bustling center of Munich. When you’re in a pinch while somewhere in the remote backcountry, it’s extremely helpful to have already brushed up on your German. Sprichst du Deutsch?
As a developed country, “off the beaten path” doesn’t necessarily exist the same way as in wilder, less-organized locales. While there’s no shortage of wilderness and “getting away from it all,” the likelihood of you stumbling on a spot not often seen by others is less than in some other destinations.
Hope you’re in the mood for sauerkraut and bratwurst, and in the mood for some German adventure. Aside from being the perfect place for the ultimate bratwurst eating contest, Germany’s variety of heart-racing adventure will knock your lederhosen off. Whether it’s camping, kayaking, or sightseeing, by the time you’re done, you’ll want to plant your roots within this gothic and mountainous country.

TFT review 2025
November 11, 2025by: Addison HidlayOverall amazing, love using this company every time. Never fails to exceed my expectations. The counselors go above and beyond! Going into my first trip a few years ago, I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect, but once I found the counselors and met more friends I had bonds that lasted a lifetime. This program creates everlasting friendships and memories that stick with me. Best teen travel company out there. So many places to go, highly trained professionals, amazing views , food, hotels, and more.
Litteral Best Summer of My Life
December 05, 2024by: Samantha Duffy - United StatesBefore I went on the 30-day Europe trip with TFT I was really nervous. I couldn't help but worry about if I was going to be homesick, make friends, etc. I can genuinely say that this was the best experience of my life. On this trip you get to participate in so much of what Europe has to offer from the art to the food to the scenery. Even though it's been months since I still think about all the inside jokes and friends I made. Everyone was so incredibly nice. Some highlights were the chocolate making class, the private sunset boat tour in cinque terre, paragliding (if you're nervous still do it, it was SO worth it!!!) and seeing taylor swift in concert. I think there was a perfect amount of support from the counselors and independence.



I felt well looked after and safe with our tour guide David.
October 22, 2024by: OliviaProgram: Bohemian Europe Group Tour: 3 Weeks
This is the first inter-railing trip I have been on and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. The tour was well organised and did not feel rushed. Euroventure have made it so convenient to travel round Europe, this is really beneficial for those without much travelling experience. I felt well looked after and safe with our tour guide David. The hostels we stayed in were clean and comfortable. The activities available did not disappoint and complimented each city really well. There is flexibility in the days schedule so it is easy to explore independently or stay with the tour leader. I am so happy I booked to do this trip and have no regrets. I would highly recommend doing a group tour with Euroventure. No doubt I will use them again to explore more of Europe.
An amazing week

I had one of the best months of my life while traveling with Euroventure on the whole of europe tour!
October 22, 2024by: Estie LonglandProgram: Whole of Europe Group Tour: 4 Weeks
I had one of the best months of my life while traveling with Euroventure on the Whole of Europe tour! It was my first backpacking and inter-railing trip I have done, and would recommend it 100%. The trip was planned so well and was extremely secure and precise. Thank you to my group leader, Catherine, and Richard for the help of organizing my trip. I will use Euroventure again and have already recommend them to all of my family and friends!
Had the best time of my life so far on this tour!
October 22, 2024by: AnonymousProgram: Bohemian Europe Group Tour: 3 Weeks
Had the best time of my life so far on this tour! I loved having the option to travel in a group of people around my age, as it felt like a much safer way to travel and I made new friends which was brilliant. The included activities were great, as well as the optional ones, as they gave us the opportunity to learn more about the cities we were staying in and experience each place as best as possible for the short time we'd be staying for. The tour leader helped us get from place to place smoothly and it would be difficult to improve the experience, overall! The only problem is that I will have to save up for the next tour, as I would love to book with Euroventure again, soon!
Easily one of the best experiences of my life
October 22, 2024by: Holly BatesProgram: Whole of Europe Group Tour: 4 Weeks
Going on the Whole of Europe group tour was easily one of the best experiences of my life. I met some amazing people and visited many incredible places during my 4 weeks and thanks to Euroventure, the trip always felt safe and supported. Euroventure were always friendly and ready to answer any questions I had about my trip which was very reassuring. All the included/optional activities were a great opportunity to get to know the group while providing memorable experiences I'll never forget and our tour leader Catherine was the best leader ever! Cannot wait to book another tour :)
This was a top option!
October 22, 2024by: LynetteProgram: Berlin to Budapest Group Tour
As someone who'd never been interrailing before, and was in desperate need of a holiday but didn't know where to start with booking all the travel/accommodation this was a top option! All the staff were really helpful from before and all the way through to the end! Shout out to David for ferrying us around and supplying good bants (not nasty bants :p)! And despite being in a group I had the freedom to peel away and explore the cities by myself too when I wanted :) Only bad thing is that I wish I was staying longer than a week! I will definitely use Euroventure again, and if you're thinking of doing it, go for it! :D
Tom is the best tour guide i’ve ever had in my life
October 14, 2024by: JackProgram: Whole of Europe Group Tour: 4 Weeks
Tom is the best tour guide I’ve ever had in my life and showed me everywhere i needed to go to have a incredible time. tom has the best fashion sense like there is no competition ?? he always plays it cool in stressful situations and is very easygoing and just a amazing human. would book again, only if it was with tom though
The perfect balance for those who want freedom to travel but don’t want the stress of booking!
October 14, 2024by: Emily BorgmanProgram: Whole of Europe Group Tour: 4 Weeks
Euroventure answered all of my ridiculous questions with kind & thoughtful responses. I was so relieved they took care of all bookings and scheduling for travel and accommodations. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable (shoutout Tom) and had helpful recommendations. It was nice to have a group to come back to after a day of adventure and do activities with. It’s the perfect balance for those who want freedom to travel but don’t want the stress of booking!
The last 4 weeks have honestly been the best and I know I've made friends for life!
October 14, 2024by: AnonProgram: Whole of Europe Group Tour: 4 Weeks
The 4 week whole of Europe group trip really couldn't have gone better and this was mostly because of how easy Euroventure made it to travel. Not having to worry about booking trains and hostels myself allowed me to enjoy the adventure so much more and our tour leader Tom was absolutely brilliant. He was knowledgeable and fun and we all knew we could go to him if we had any problems or questions. The included activities were also all very fun and made the trip really good value for money. The last 4 weeks have honestly been the best and I know I've made friends for life!
Best 2 weeks of my life
October 14, 2024by: Harry DunkleyProgram: Central Europe Group Tour: 2 Weeks
Absolutely amazing experience with an amazing tour leader Tom. The other group members were all amazing and as this was my first solo trip I couldn’t be happier with the results. Best 2 weeks of my life and would highly recommend euroventure to anyone wanting to get out their comfort zone and travel. 5 stars anyday!
One of the best experiences of my life
October 14, 2024by: Izzie SowelsProgram: Central Europe Group Tour: 2 Weeks
I have just been on the Central Europe trip, which was my first time solo travelling and joining a group. I can honestly say that this trip has been one of the best experiences of my life. It has been incredible to see Europe with the new friends I made in my group, who were all so lovely. Our leader Tom has also been amazing, and his knowledge and positivity while leading us through different cities to see as much as we could really helped to make the experience even better. I will definitely be recommending Euroventure to my friends, and hopefully I will be able to sign up for another tour in the future.
An unforgettable experience!
September 26, 2024by: LiamProgram: Central Europe Group Tour: 2 Weeks
Just finished the first 2 weeks of the whole of Europe group tour. Highly recommend this tour as it was a blast. The main benefit of this tour was spending 2-3 nights in most places to get a proper taste of the locations instead of travelling most days. Our tour leader Tom did an exceptional job getting us around. It was nice not having to worry about all of the travel logistics. Very fun to hang out with Tom and the group and have made some lifelong friendships. Thanks to the Euroventure team for an unforgettable experience!
An unforgettable 2 weeks!
September 21, 2024by: Jamie DehouckProgram: Central Europe Group Tour: 2 Weeks
The perfect way to properly see Europe via train. Euroventure exceeded my expectations with safe and convient group travel. I would have defiantly missed half of the beautiful sites and activities without our guide Tom. Thank you Tom and Team for an unforgettable 2 weeks!
Could not recommend Euroventure enough!
September 21, 2024by: GeorgiaProgram: Central Europe Group Tour: 2 Weeks
I recently went on the 2 weeks Central Europe group tour and could not recommend Euroventure enough! All my questions were answered really quickly, so knew what to expect from the trip. The price was very reasonable for the Hostels we stayed at and the activities included! The included activities were perfect for each city. I also met some amazing people which made the trip unforgettable! Our tour leader, Tolly, was really helpful but also felt like he was just one of the group!
I had the best time on my two-week trip around Europe
September 21, 2024by: LaurenProgram: Central Europe Group Tour: 2 Weeks
I had the best time on my two week trip around Europe with Tom and our group, everyone was so nice and Tom never failed to be knowledgeable and helpful with whatever questions we had for him. All the included activities were fab and everyone seemed to enjoy them! I have done a group tour like this before and I think the itinerary of this one worked a bit better for a large group. We had more free time to explore on our own which meant everyone got to see all the things they wanted to in each place rather than everyone having to do the same route and visiting sights they didn't have any interest in. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone whether travelling alone, with someone or even in a little group as we had all of these on our trip and the group dynamic was great! Thank you Tom and everyone on our tour, you all made the trip a great one! :)
No complaints at all
September 21, 2024by: AnonymousProgram: Whole of Europe Group Tour: 4 Weeks
I am just on my way back from the 4 week whole of Europe group tour. I would highly recommend it , from start to finish no complaints at all and our tour leader Tom was amazing , always got us to trains perfectly on time and no hiccups along the way. He was also extremely helpful finding us the best places to eat visit and explore ! Euroventure is a great company just book and turn up and enjoy yourself.
Would definitely recommend it to anyone planning to interrail.
September 21, 2024by: HollyProgram: Whole of Europe Group Tour: 4 Weeks
Euroventure was amazing with everything regarding my trip. Any questions were quickly answered and felt well informed about it before leaving. During the trip nothing disappointed and felt the hostels, included activities and travel was well worth the money. Tour leader was amazing and gave great advice on things to do in each city and made it easy for the group to become good friends. Would definitely recommend it to anyone planning to interrail.
I loved every place I visited, and all of the activities Euroventure provided were so much fun.
September 20, 2024by: IzzyProgram: Central Europe Group Tour: 2 Weeks
I just recently completed the Central Europe tour and already want to go back! I loved every place I visited, and all of the activities Euroventure provided were so much fun. It was amazing to meet people from all over and become closer with them within such a short time frame. Sam, our tour leader, is what truly made this trip so special. He was professional, yet was also just as much a part of the group as anyone else. He was so much fun to be around and was very knowledgeable about all the places we visited. I would definitely recommend Euroventure to anyone who wants an amazing group travel experience!
